Leeds City College

What Our Students Say

“Because I’ve got autism and I’d sometimes have trouble understanding things – because I need stuff breaking down into detail and explaining to me in a perfect way, in a much more understanding way, I have tutors that understand me a bit more.”

Max

“Before I came to Leeds City College, I was in school, I was in such a bad way at school, skiving lessons all the time, teachers always on my case, getting kicked out numerous times almost. So I applied for here just hoping to get on a course, I got accepted – it was entry Level 3. Dave was my tutor and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better as a tutor, because he just helped me. He helped me with every regard, with Maths and English, workshop work, the theory side of the workshop work – telling me how everything is and showing me what’s what.”

Harrison

“I decided to study at Leeds City College because I liked the equipment and the rooms that they had, and I liked how it was a whole new space – it had only recently been built so everything was brand spanking new and it looked really clean and really nice.”

About School of Enterprise & Employability

Welcome to the School of Enterprise & Employability

At the School of Enterprise & Employability, students embark on a journey to uncover their aspirations and hone their skills through a variety of projects and enterprise-focused disciplines. By working closely with employers, the school ensures that students can choose from courses that meet the demands of the contemporary job market.

We offer Level 1 and Level 2 courses tailored to either personal and employability skills development, or Creative Craft courses at our RE: workshop (based at our Mabgate Campus). These Creative Craft courses, delivered from our dedicated workshop, offer instruction in basic joinery skills intertwined with the principles of upcycling and furniture recycling.

The School also provides opportunities for Level 3 and Level 4 apprenticeships across various fields, including Event Management, Marketing, Project Management, and Community Mental Health and Wellbeing. Through these apprenticeships, students can delve deeper into their chosen disciplines, gaining practical experience and valuable insights into their respective industries.

Where will I learn?

The School of Enterprise and Employability is based primarily at our Somerville House Campus, however some of our provision is also delivered at our Mabgate Campus, a vibrant Leeds location.
